Type: Pilgrimage Site
Best season: Winter

The Goddess here is Jeshoreshwari, and the temple that carries her name stands at Ishwaripur in Satkhira — in Bangladesh, near the Bangladeshi side of the Sundarbans. Indians get a straightforward visa, and because several Peethas sit within a few days of each other on that side of the border, this one is worth planning into a single trip rather than a crossing made for it alone.

Why visit

In Satkhira, close to the Bangladesh side of the Sundarbans. Bangladesh is a straightforward visa for Indians and several Peethas sit within a few days of each other there, so it is worth doing them as one trip.

Cultural notes

Her Bhairava here is named Chanda, and the relic the tradition assigns to this site is Sati's palms and soles. On a map, look for Ishwaripur and Shyamnagar, not Satkhira alone.
